Using the VM-24HC 2 Input 1:4 HDMI Distributor The VM-24HC always displays the video output on all of the four outputs at the same time (once they are ready to display the output) upon power up and when switching an input (from IN 1 to IN 2 and vice versa).
Acquiring the EDID Initially the VM-24HC operates with the factory default EDID stored in the non- volatile memory. The source reads the EDID from the device when the device is plugged in or powered on. This is usually done only once when the unit is being set up in an installation. Once acquired, the EDID is saved in non-volatile memory and further acquisition is not necessary.
